I know next to nothing about opera, but “Don Giovanni” came to mind first. But I changed it to “Don Juan” because of the flames reference. I thought that might have been acceptable, except “Don Juan in Hell” wasn’t an opera and therefore didn’t fit the category Opera Title Names.
There was clue on X-Rated movie, which reminds me of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Cynthia Rowley saying that incorrect answer of the 5 movie ratings.
It may still be on YouTube.
Trebek was rude and disrespectful when he pointed out that the other two were blown out or blown away. We already know that. That is why I will NOT miss Trebek when there is a new host.
An interesting take to be sure.
What Alex said was “My gosh! Look at your score– $35,200! I mean, it is one thing to turn the game into a runaway. It is another thing to blow away your opponents. Most impressive.”
Everybody has different levels of sensitivities, I know, but I don’t think that hurt the other players’ feelings. They were good sports and you don’t know what they said to each other about the game afterwards. I know I would have said something like, wow, you sure kicked my butt six ways to Sunday!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Jennifer dominated the whole game today and is pretty quick on the buzzer. I think she could be our next streaker if this keeps up. At least the triple stumper in final jeopardy has been broken. Though I would love to see a triple solve tomorrow hopefully, VJ. And I hope Jen can break the curse.
Yup, that was a most impressive first game for Jennifer. Nice to see the dramatic drop in triple stumpers, too.
